rough idle but steady rpms

As described the 94 runs great. But when engine is warmed up and set the truck vibrates at stop. The idle is steady around 500-600 rpms but I can feel and hear the idle through loose change etc. Of course the mirror rattles every once in a while.
Possiblility of engine mount(s) going bad or even center bearing? The last tune up was about 1.5 years and I drive about 8k miles yearly. I realize the more its offroad more rattles will be heard but for 120k its not bad....more less a fine tune question.

Chris,
Can you isolate what is vibrating? Exhaust? Engine? Xfer case shifter?

Without more information, identifying the cause will be a shot in the dark. It could be as simple as needing a minor tune (plugs or wires) or fuel system cleaner or something more complex like the wiring harness by the EGR or the big intake hose. Or, it could be something expensive like ... (you don't want to know.)

I went through something similar not too longf ago. It would shimmy a little in drive. After a while, it got worse, then as soon as you put it drive it would want to cut off. Neutral and Reverse worked fine. The culprit? Pinched harness by the engine. In reverse, the engine torqued the opposite way, so nothing happened. As soon as the engine torqued the other way, it would die. You may be at the early stages of what I had. HTH

Do these things have brake boosters? I think I had that problem once in my 40. Leaky brake booster made the engine rev funny when depressed. Something about loosing vacuum? Sound familiar? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller....

My 93 80 does that right now. It's new to me so who knows what leaks and what is broken. At least during warm-up and in nuetral, when I press the brakes there is a small surge in rpm's

I wouldnt rule out exhaust just yet. when you are in drive the engine is at a different pitch in the motor mounts and can make the exhaust rattle funny. I would chekc there first as it is a lot easier to repair a heat sheild than a trans.

Dave, good point. I just remembered that the heat shield bolts came off a few months ago...the flange part that mounts to the chassis. A loose bolt was rattling than noticed it completely came off. I think thia flange part is threaded too. I doubt that is the main solution but a good starting point.
